My baby, he says he loves me   My baby, he says he needs me so   Covers me with sunshine   Tucks me in with songs      Every now and then   Troubles come my way   Asks me what to do   And to him I simply say      I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright   I gotta cry sometimes, it's alright   I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright      My baby, he brings me flowers   Takes me out to see the shows   He don't need complainin'   I couldn't ask, couldn't ask for more      Every now and then   Troubles come my way   Asks me what to do   And to him I simply say      I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright   I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright   I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright      Now, I'd like to thank you for everything you do   Whenever I'm around you, you turn my gray skies blue   And if the world should crumble, it's alright      I gotta cry sometimes but it's alright   I gotta cry sometimes, it's alright, yeah, yeah   Gotta cry sometimes, gotta cry sometimes, gotta cry
